Why do old truck feel so different cpmpare to the modern ones?
The thread started by Dennis about new drive trains on old trucks got me thinking about my old truck. I had a 72 one ton GM pick up with a 350 and a Turbo 400 tranny which I loved driving. The torque is so nice. It just keeps on pulling plus it gets up and go really well. I find the newer (90ish and on) just doesn't feel the same. The torque, the speed, and the comfort is better, but it just doesn't feel the same. the old truck feel like a tank that just would quit. I don't know how to describe it. Don't get me wrong, I like my modern pick ups, but something is missing.
